Report of the European Commission on the Atlantic action plan / EU Publications, March 2018

The European Commission has published a study feeding into the mid-term review of the implementation of the Atlantic Action Plan.This initiative aims to provide a framework for the development of the Atlantic Basin, by assigning specific priorities and objectives.This document is based on a study by Ernst & Young, which puts the number of maritime projects at 1,200 and the amount of investments contributing to the implementation of the Atlantic strategy to nearly 6 billion euros.

The setting up and the actions of WEAMEC are the subject of a presentation as a project contributing to the Atlantic strategy.

Extract from the report:

“The WEAMEC will contribute directly to the implementation of the Priority 1 of the Action Plan, dealing with the promotion of research and innovation. Indeed, this center of excellence brings together the MRE eco-system in the Pays de la Loire Region within the fields of research and innovation. It increases the capacity of the region to innovate through research and technology by encouraging networking and co-operative research between research centres, higher education and business and by transferring knowledge and insights, as well as skills, between them. It also encourages the international and inter-sectoral mobility of researchers in Europe through the 169 “WEAMEC International Mobility call” which is linked to the “MSCA calls for project”. By developing MRE technologies, the WEAMEC project also contributes to the Priority 2 of the Action Plan dedicated to “the exploitation of the renewable energy potential of the Atlantic area’s marine and costal environment”. The Action Plan in particular identified a number of specific needs to support the development of marine renewable energies in the Atlantic area. These include: – encouraging assessment and mapping of the potential of the Atlantic’s energy resource and determining how to mitigate the environmental and navigational impact; – contributing to a European electricity transmission system that allows the balancing of loads and provides better links between offshore and onshore energies; – promoting research, development and demonstration of technologies for the construction and maintenance of renewable energy installations; The WEAMEC project directly contributes to promoting research, development and demonstration of marine renewable energy technologies.”
